This amount is payable in addition to any other amounts due but unpaid or payable on that date (including break costs under clause 5(d));

    • 3.3. Amounts Payable by Your Insurer

      We are entitled to receive all amounts which are payable by the insurer or any other person to you. If we receive such amounts after you have paid us the amount under clause 3.2, we will refund to you, up to the amount you paid us, the amount we receive less all money then payable by you to us;

  • Rent Installments, Costs, Taxes and Other Amounts

    You must pay us the rent instalments without any set-off or deduction on or before the due date as stated on the invoice by payment by banker's direct debit (or such other means as mVoice may accept). The rent instalments and any fees paid under this agreement are not refundable; and

      • You must not withhold any payment under this agreement or make a deduction (including for taxes) from it for any reason including because the goods are damaged, do not operate efficiently or at all, do not conform to specifications, are not in your possession, are not or not properly maintained; or because you claim to have a setoff, counterclaim or other right against us or another person;
  • Indemnities

    You indemnify us against liability, loss or costs (including on account of funds borrowed, contracted for or used to fund any amount payable by us in connection with our purchase of the goods or this agreement and consequential or economic loss) we suffer or incur in connection with:

      • any liability, loss or deduction we may incur under the Tax Act because you use the goods for a purpose other than that in clause 2.2.
